Georgia Historic Site Investigation (GHSI)

My thesis project at Full Sail University used augmented reality to transform

the tradition textbook into an interactive learning experience.

Imagine...

• A textbook that can adjusts supplemental content to match a student’s future aspirations (virtual mentors).

• A periodic table that can turn into an interactive chemistry lab and provide vivid detail of each element.

• Students submitting geo-browser tours of historical events instead of 3-4 page papers.

• Students browsing the world instead of the internet.

• Augmented Reality - engage auditory, visual and kinesthetic learners

• Geo-Browsers (Google Earth) - transform the typical geography or history lessons into an interactive experience

• Mobile Learning - create learning experiences in and outside the classroom
